The decanter carafe brings out the best in the wine. When wine is poured into the carafe, it runs through small holes in the integrated funnel and down the inside walls of the carafe. This oxygenates the wine gently, effectively – and beautifully. Also, the large surface of the carafe further contributes to the oxygenation process. The decanter carafe holds a bottle of wine and is 100% drip-free.
Brings Out The Best In The Wine
The new decanter carafe from Eva Solo gently decants your wine through the integrated funnel which is perforated with lots of small holes. When the wine runs through all the holes and continues down the inside of the carafe, it is subtly yet effectively aerated in the most beautiful way.
Why decant your wine?
“There might be several reasons for decanting wine, but it is almost always an advantage to do so, especially in the case of red wine. You can decant the wine to remove sediment or tartrates, and it can be decanted to allow the wine to breathe,” says well-known Swedish sommelier Sören Polonius from the Michelin-starred restaurant F12 in Stockholm.
When wine is decanted – or aerated – it softens the tannins so they become less sharp, it rounds off the acids and it opens up the wine’s fruitiness. In other words, the wine becomes more complex and acquires a fuller taste, and is therefore more pleasant to drink. An old, mature wine needs to be decanted for just 20-30 minutes (yet there might be sediment), while a completely young wine may need several hours of aeration. By comparison, it takes about a day to aerate a bottle of wine if you just remove the cork and leave the wine in the bottle – and who has time for that?
Thanks to its beautiful and simple design, the new Eva Solo Decanter carafe matches the rest of Eva Solo’s extensive wine range. The carafe is made of mouth-blown glass with a stainless steel pouring funnel. Dishwasher-safe.
